11) Boots - Here are the shots I found of boots that were represented as screen used or duplicates for that purpose but first an onscreen capture from the movie:
The ties above the knee are attached to the boots.

11) Boots cont. - My boots will be from my current costume collection and will require a bit of color wash. I believe I have the full strap set already and will attach them permanently.

6) Tomahawk cont. - First the head: I got the first primer layer and silver on but have not yet wet sanded. I have one obvious buildup welt:
But beyond that, It is ready to paint on the acid etched look on his customized and personalized tomahawk.
Second: The handle. I waffled on material and went back and forth on wood or foam or print and am currently attempting a print version.
Due to numerous printhead plugging issues on brim and supports at first layer, I had to stand it up to reduce first layer contact. This risks tipping and print failure so I try not to go this route but was getting nowhere because of clogs. I split it into four sections to greatly reduce its height and am in about 7 hours, so far. I had to seriously and aggressively babysit layer one through 4 to remove blobs so I know it is time to realign my print head to the bed with the manual leveling knobs but am now seeing a clean print.
Having four sections will mean an epoxy weld or super glue session to get one handle from four pieces and it will not be more than display worthy, so, will need to be very gentle until poses are done.
Will post files and pictures soon.

6) tomahawk cont. - I probably shouldn't even walk in this room until it is done but I am really hoping not to have one of these topple over....
6) Tomahawk cont. - printing done, now for some glue and paint.... comp shot below
a little more progress, glued the section and sanded the top down enough for a tight fit in the axehead.
I had to fill in a section so I know some modifications need to be done to the file for the handle.

Very cool!!
It's so interesting seeing things 3D printed which, as a youth, I spent hours filing and sanding and polishing in Brass.
That's due to my father being an avid Kentucky Rifle builder and shooter. Here he is shooting a rifle he made.
We were born in the hills of West Virginia where our ancestor, born in London, settled in the late 18th century.
He came to the Virginia Colony in 1763, joined the Virginia Militia pre-war, then fought in George Washington's Continental Army throughout. He was one of "500 picked backwoodsmen" which were formed into the Corps of Rangers under Colonel Daniel Morgan in 1777.
With that family history it's little wonder my father was fascinated with flintlock rifles and pistols.

That is awesome. I at first thought this gound rifle may have been a later kit gun but now everything is pointing to it being a legitimate used and abused original. For my pose I am taking advantage of making my parts look like the rifle from the movie but when done, we will take this to the local muzzleloader smith and put the right parts back into it. The very very small backplate looks too close to pistol size to not actually be one so I think this is definitely a smith built one-off gun made with what was available when it was ordered.Very cool!!

I just recently got a copy of the hat your dad is wearing.

That would be so cool if they had used an original.
At least back in the 1960s and 1970s when we visited relatives in remote areas of West Virginia it wasn't uncommon for an original Kentucky rifle, a family heirloom, to be hung above the house's entry door, horizontally, by two brackets. I still have one of the rifles my dad made but my wife didn't go with the suggestion that we hang it over the doorway!
About that hat, that old beat-up hat. Whatever happened to it? It could have been either the hat his father wore in World War One, or my dad's Boy Scout hat. Here are photos of both being worn back in the day.

Double down on that request Dr Jones SrGreat family history Dr Jones SrWould be fun to see your Dad's rifle
A little progress again this morning. I filled the knobby mis-scan on the handle end. I had taped the shape.... wow that is seriously hard to word... I used tape to form the proposed shape, but hollow, and filled that mold pocket with baking soda slowly while mixing in my superglue and once full (and time passed) I removed the tape and sanded down this filler to the correct handle shape. I will fix the 3d file so no one else faces this. I then sanded the entire handle in overlapping downward and angled downdward strokes to smooth away the print lines, glue, and give it wood grain in the right direction (to be filled later with an alcohol color wash). First layers of tan paint done and now the wood grain fill and matching screen comp dark grain area accents. When complete it gets an oil paint wash of red, very very very light. Here is midpoint:
First side painted!!!!
It is already much more red than this picture but the oil over stain will be very cherry to add to it.
I am very likely enjoying this waaaaay too much. I ride a pure joy wave when painting props..... could be the fumes........hahahahahaha
